Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

I Flew north and got my truck about a week ago and set out on the nearly 700 miles to home. We bought it back in January and had a mate sort out a bunch of small issues, and replace the Chev 250 & manual box with a 350 and 700R4. Apart from the engine upgrade, we have also fitted seat belts and burst proof doorlocks.

Truck had to pass our "certification" system before it could legally go for a warrant of fitness and then become legal.

Our truck has Jaguar from & rear suspension & steering. I can say the Jag steering setup is about the nicest I have ever driven in a hot rod, and they are dirt cheap to buy now.

That is a good lookin truck, it is a 54 right, just getting used to the years. I like the tailight setup.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Thats a 54' grille but the cab is from half of 47-53. I think this was either the first or second or maybe the only one I seen with this set up. I personally like it, cool little touch not many people would catch.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

I suspect it was "recabbed" at some stage of its life with a later cab, as its actually registered here as a 48, but its the later 54/55 grill, and it doesnt have the popout vent on the LH side.

Down here, the 55 truck still had the two piece glass, tho by then you guys got the curved glass. Maybe its the time on the water or maybe we got our trucks from Canada, as we were part of the British Empire back then & anything with links to Britain got favourable treatment.

Tail lights are 50 Pontiac repro ones on a fairly short rolled pan

The front end of my 55 looks like this with the circle areas no fog lights.

Here's my sweet 59!

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Love your truck! May I suggest you put the correct 58-59 hubcaps on it and ribbed beauty rings?

Can you tell me what you're using there for a wheel center cap?

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

I like it as it is, flamed and all, very nice.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Few fall days are remaining here in MN... the leaves are almost off the trees and brisk trotts with 'Ruby' are getting rare. I love this time of year, but it's all too brief. -Doug :truck:

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

his "time of year" here has already brought snow a few times but gone today again, will be back soon to stay. Glad I have a 4x4 can rip it up all year long.:metal:

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Just a nice clean truck. Always been a garage queen so no rust. It has been converted to a Chevelle engine (350) rock crusher 4-speed and 12 bolt rear end.
